One Word Movie

War of the Worlds

There's some relationship drama, but mostly it's just enormous alien extermination-tripods kicking the shit out of Americans. Tom Cruise gets to run around like a chimp. The wee kids are only a bit irritating. And it's surprisingly nasty. I wouldn't take kids to watch it unless you wanted to make them shit themselves.

The ending is still stupid, but that's hardly Spielberg's fault. The aliens lose because they haven't had their jabs? I think it would be more entertaining if they'd forgotten their two pin adaptors so they're unable to recharge their death rays. I bet the aliens' mums will be furious with them.

Apart from this, it is a good movie. And you get to look at Tom Cruise's teeth, they are beautiful, thanks Tom.
